Dar Global, the London-listed luxury real estate developer, in partnership with The Trump Organisation, has announced the debut of Trump International Hotel Maldives, the brand’s first property in the Maldives, and the launch of the world’s first tokenised hotel development linked to the project.
This will be the organization’s first property in the Maldives and also pioneers a new era of financial innovation in hospitality. For the first time, the development phase of a luxury real estate project will be tokenised, allowing investors to participate in a high-value hospitality venture from inception — a significant departure from traditional models that tokenise completed assets.
Set just 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé, Trump International Hotel Maldives will feature approximately 80 ultra-luxury beach and overwater villas, offering unmatched levels of privacy, exclusivity, and sophistication for discerning global travellers. The resort is scheduled to open by the end of 2028.
Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organisation, stated: “We are delighted to bring the Trump brand to the Maldives in collaboration with Dar Global. This development will not only redefine luxury in the region but also set a new benchmark for innovation in real estate investment through tokenisation.”
Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, added: “Dar Global continues to push boundaries — from creating world-class destinations to pioneering new investment models. Tokenising the development of Trump International Hotel Maldives represents a global first, merging luxury, technology, and innovation in a way that will transform the future of hospitality investment.”
This collaboration further cements Dar Global’s reputation as a forward-thinking developer and expands The Trump Organisation’s global legacy of excellence into one of the world’s most aspirational destinations — marking the dawn of a new era where luxury meets innovation.
